Derry Girls tells us the story of five friends trying to deal with all the problems that teenage years bring us while attending a Catholic girls’ secondary school. Also one of them is a boy named James who is almost always the butt of every joke, but sweetly and endearingly. Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Nicola Coughlan, Jaime-Lee O’Donnell, and Dylan Llewellyn make up the core group of characters in the Channel 4 sitcom.
